On Thursday, February 15, our Editor Steve Monroe moderated a 90-minute webinar titled “Will New Records Be Set? The Numbers, the Deals, the Stats on all Seniors Housing and Care M&A,” with a panel of experts to discuss the 2017 seniors housing and care M&A market, with pricing statistics from our upcoming Senior Care Acquisition Report, to be published next month.

Capital Healthcare Investments Doubles In Size

Capital Healthcare Investments (CHI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTGE Investment Corp., a publicly traded hybrid REIT, has purchased a portfolio of nine skilled nursing facilities in Virginia with about 1,050 beds.

The purchase price was $130 million, or close to $124,000 per bed. Why the high price? The average age is just 15 years and the occupancy is in the low 90s. Five of the nine properties were built in the past 10 years. The facilities will be leased back to the seller under a 15-year lease with two five-year renewals... Read More »
